Geckos in House (India): Exclusion and Gentle Removal

Geckos in home in India—harmless insect eaters but cause repulsion. Religious beliefs prohibit killing.

Solution

Thorough inspection: seal all cracks, gaps under doors, around pipes, vents with caulk, steel wool, mesh.
Have helpers catch indoor geckos (hand or container) and release outside.
Repeat until none remain inside.

Geckos control mosquitoes, flies, roaches. Tolerance is easier, but exclusion respects your beliefs.
